[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Topless Beaches, OK or not?

[Lynette]

As many of you already know, I grew up in a place where women being topless on a beach was no big deal. Almost everywhere I've been outside the US, it's that way too. Personally, except when I was in the US for school and such, I've never worn a top on any beach. Here on the isalnd where I live women walk up and down the beaches topless all the time. Nobody except maybe overly religious types seem to mind.
I could never understand why Americans seem to think boobs are such a bad thing when the rest of the world seems to be open to admiring them even in public. In the states, if a guy walks up to you on the beach and says "nice breasts" (even with a top on) most women will act genuinely pissed or embarrassed. Here, women just say thank you, take it as a compliment, and go on their way.
So, is being topless on public beaches a good thing? Bad thing? Or, what?And.why does American society seem to think it's so bad? Is it because when the English people(religious based puritans) who left England and settled in America brought all those old religious based principles with them? And to this day they've stuck? If so, it seems a shame that after two hundred years, American society hasn't been able to shed something like the sight of some bare breasts on a beach is a bad thing.

This is an excellent topic, but I think you two have pretty much covered it. The only thing I would add is that tits are tits whether they're on the beach or in the office or where ever. Even though a woman laying out topless isn't thinking about sex or turning-on bystanders, if she's got a nice rack that's exactly what a guy is thinking about. A guy could be at a strip club, five or six topless girls on stage, and when the non-topless waitress bends over to serve your beer, we're gonna be checking out her cleavage. It's the main reason for this whole website. You won't see a site called RateMyElbow.

Oh, I'm quite sure that guys are thinking it when I'm on the beach (I notice through my sunglasses when they're staring at me. Why else would my nipples get hard in 90 degree weather?). It doesn't bother me at all. I figure if it weren't good to look at... I'd have to worry. If they stop staring I'll be concerned about mysekf or them. But, what's wrong with that. Is American society so anal that they're concerned with what a man might think? What's next? Thought police? Since when is a man's lustful thoughts something to be discouraged? If that were so, every guy in the country would be arrested. LOL!

Could you just stand there on the beach causally talking to some guy if he developed a big boner while you were there. Without it being a distraction? What if the guy wasn't attractive or completly not your type? As much as nude bodies aren't nessasarily always sexual, a hard-on is. So aren't stiff nipples. Not that I think there's anything wrong with it but I imagine most woman wouldn't stick around talking to some strange guy on a topless beach if he walked up with a boner and a smile.

Well, I'm guessing that you've never been on a topless beach from the sound of your comments. Oh, I'm sure guys look at me with a lustful little voice in their heads when I'm on the beach. But, I meet men on the beach all the time and I've never had that kind of a problem wwhile standing around carrying on a conversation with them. I've never seen a guy on the beach with a boner protruding in his shorts (at least not an obvious one).There's an etequette that both men and women tend to follow when on a topless beach. Women don't shake their tits in another woman's man's face, and men don't overtly oggle or make lewd comments. That's just the way it is. Most all women would automatically brand a guy with an obvious boner on the beach as a creep.
As for hard nipples... I don't consider them to be the same as a hard dick in public. We girls can always claim hard nips are the result of the cool, ocean breeze or something. Believe it or not, erect nipples aren't always the result of being sexually aroused.
